Sure, hun.

 

I may not update for a while. Keep this bumped, please.

 

?Bump.

 

I may or may not post an update tonight. If I do, excuse me if it is short. I've been having family issues lately, and haven't been in the whole 'Spark' mood.

 

Karl.Hello.

 

Update!

????????????????

"I love you, too," I finally say. He kisses my nose.

I smile.

He smiles back.

I laugh.

He laughs.

We are perfect for each other.

Just then, Danny emerges from the tent, holding five envelopes. He hands me one.

"What's this?" I ask.

"Plane ticket,"

"We're leaving today?!"

"Tomorrow." He corrects. "So you have one day to visit people."

I know exactly who I'm going to visit.

????????????????

I knock on the large, wooden door, and a tall, handsome man opens the door. He is accompanied by a sophisticated-looking woman. My brother, Alex, and his fiancé, Margaret.

"Hi," I say.

Alex shakes his head, then pulls me into a tight embrace.

I didn't bring Carl with me; Alex knows him, so it would be awkward.

"What're you doing here?" He asks.

"Long story,"

"I have time,"

????????????????

"So, a challenge, huh?" Says Alex, popping a grape into his mouth.

"Yup," I reply. I hoist myself up to sit on the kitchen island, the bowl of grapes sitting on my lap.

Alex smirks and shakes his head.

"What?" I demand.

"You're just like I was before..." He trails off.

"Before what?"

He looks at the floor.

"My challenge."

My eyes widen as I figure it out. Only Flipside-Charms get challenges. Therefor...

"No way!" I say, punching his arm gently. "What are you?" I ask.

"Firecracker," he replies. "When they get angry, they can-"

I interrupt him. "Burn people. Yeah, me, too."

"Mom, too." He says.

There is a moment of silence as we think about our mother. Why didn't the Cancer cells burn? She was like me... I am like her.

Now I'm thinking of my Dad. My abusive, drug-taking, heartless Dad. He's inside for twenty-five years.

A tear rolls down my cheek. Alex wipes it away with his thumb. I look up and see his emerald green eyes staring at me. His brown hair frames his face perfectly. He takes a lock of my hair and twirls it round a finger.

"I'm glad I'm not ginger," he says.

"I'm different," I shrug.

He laughs and shakes his head.

????????????????

"Bye," I say to Alex and Margaret.

"Bye," they reply, simultaneously.

I get halfway down the road when I feel a gentle hand on my shoulder. I look around to see Margaret. She smiles at me.

"Good luck," she says.

"Thanks," and I hug her.

When I get back to the forest, everybody is awake, except Shannon.

Carl and Danny sit by a tree, discussing our visit to Onyx's castle. Carl is probably asking what they'll do to keep me safe.

Aishling is sitting up high in a tree, her legs tucked up under her chin, and her hair covering her face.

Liam is cutting wood for a fire.

"Hello, Match," he says. I laugh. He's been calling me Match for a while now, because I start the evening fires for us.

"Hello, Liam! How are things?"

"Good."

"All set for tomorrow?"

"I'm not going." He says. "Health reasons."

But... There were five envelopes.

Me, Shannon, Danny, Aishling and... and...?

Carl.

Of course!

"Ugh," a moan escapes my mouth. Thankfully, Liam either didn't hear it; or chose to ignore it. Nonetheless, I go over to Carl and sit beside him.

"How'd it go?" He asks me.

"Good." I reply.

Gosh! So protective!

????????????????

I think I'm loosing my touch slightly. My other updates are so much better than this!
